An afternoon extraordinarily spent...

So I was nastily jolted out of sleep by my ringing cellphone. Hastily picking it up to cease its incessant ringing, I mumbled a sleepy "Hello". An unfamiliar masculine voice reached my ears with words that were slow to register in my foggy brain.

"We are pleased to inform you that you have won a pair of movie tickets in the Book Review Contest held in Tampines Regional Library."

It took about a full second for all remnants of sleep to flee my mind and for the full impact of his words to sink in. Oh my frigging goodness. I WON!! All right Muffin, we're watching Casino Royale. No buts. =P

After the call ended, I leapt out of bed and danced to the living room exuberantly, still clad in my pyjamas. I think I scared the maid. Lol. =X

Later in the afternoon, I was to have a violin rehearsal for the wedding, held in Bedok Reservoir. The other two violinists were Mr Conrad and Ms Yeow. Mr Conrad was so kind to offer a lift in his car, and we ended up being the first ones to arrive. Having quite a bit of time to kill, Mr Conrad decided to - you won't believe this - FISH!! Apparantly, he has a fishing rod kept permenantly in the boot of his car for occasions such as these. SO, we went to the designated fishing area and he began to set up his stuff - rod, artificial baits and blah. Then he showed me how to cast the line. And then, he let me try it out. O.O

It was amazingly fun. I casted the line a couple of times, of course, not throwing as far as he did. I'm but a lowly inexperienced fisherman. Hahaha. The rehearsal was quite all right. Apparantly, we might have to lengthen our truncated Canon in D for the bride to walk all the way in and for the guests to settle down. And we may have to play a bit for the reception. Air on the G-string by Bach perhaps.

All in all, I must say, it was quite an extraordinary day. But I'm dead beat now. =.=
